Answer Explanations
Question 1 Explanation
The correct answer is goes. The phrase “every day” shows a regular habit, so we need the present simple tense. With “she,” we add -s or -es to the verb.
Question 2 Explanation
The correct answer is are playing. The word “Look!” shows that the action is happening now. For actions happening at the moment of speaking, we use the present continuous structure: am/is/are + verb-ing.
Question 3 Explanation
The correct answer is watched. The phrase “last night” shows that the action happened in the past. For regular verbs in the past simple, we usually add -ed to the verb.
Question 4 Explanation
The correct answer is am going to. The phrase “next weekend” shows a future time. We use be going to to talk about future plans and intentions.
Question 5 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough before nouns to mean a sufficient amount. “Milk” is an uncountable noun, and the sentence says there is not a sufficient amount in the fridge.
Question 6 Explanation
The correct answer is taller. The word “than” shows that the sentence is making a comparison between two people. For short adjectives like “tall,” we usually add -er to make the comparative form.
Question 7 Explanation
The correct answer is at. We use at with exact times. “Seven o’clock” is a specific clock time, so the correct phrase is “at seven o’clock.”
Question 8 Explanation
The correct answer is never. The sentence says she does not like coffee, so she does not drink it. Never means not at any time.
Question 9 Explanation
The correct answer is too. We use too before adjectives when something is more than suitable or possible. The box is heavier than the person can lift.
Question 10 Explanation
The correct answer is didn’t. The word “yesterday” shows that the sentence is about the past. In negative past simple sentences, we use didn’t + base verb.
Question 11 Explanation
The correct answer is Would. “Would you like…?” is a polite expression used for offers. The sentence is offering water to someone.
Question 12 Explanation
The correct answer is some. We use some in positive sentences with plural countable nouns. “Apples” is a plural countable noun, so “some apples” is correct.
Question 13 Explanation
The correct answer is swim. After modal verbs like can, we use the base form of the main verb. We do not use “swims” or “swimming” after can.
Question 14 Explanation
The correct answer is were. The subject “we” needs were in the past form of the verb “be.” The phrase “yesterday evening” confirms that the sentence is about the past.
Question 15 Explanation
The correct answer is best. The phrase “in our town” compares the restaurant with all other restaurants in that place. For this meaning, we use the superlative form the best.
Question 16 Explanation
The correct answer is a lot of. “Homework” is usually an uncountable noun in English. We can use a lot of with uncountable nouns to mean a large amount.
Question 17 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough after adjectives to mean sufficient for a purpose. “Old enough to travel alone” means she has the necessary age to travel alone.
Question 18 Explanation
The correct answer is in. We use in with months when we do not mention a specific day. “July” is a month, so it takes in.
Question 19 Explanation
The correct answer is are. The subject “they” needs are with the future form going to. The correct structure is subject + am/is/are + going to + base verb.
Question 20 Explanation
The correct answer is help. After will, we use the base form of the main verb. The question asks for future help, so “Will you help…?” is correct.
Question 21 Explanation
The correct answer is have. The phrase “every morning” shows a regular habit. For the subject “I,” the present simple form is have.
Question 22 Explanation
The correct answer is sunny. The sentence needs an adjective after the verb “was” to describe the weather. Sunny is the adjective form that means full of sun.
Question 23 Explanation
The correct answer is any. We commonly use any in negative sentences. “There weren’t any people” means there were no people or almost no people at the party.
Question 24 Explanation
The correct answer is mustn’t. We use mustn’t to talk about prohibition. The sentence means smoking is not allowed in the hospital.
Question 25 Explanation
The correct answer is watching. The phrase “at the moment” shows that the action is happening now. Present continuous uses am/is/are + verb-ing, so “am watching” is correct.
Question 26 Explanation
The correct answer is finish. In past simple questions with did, the main verb stays in the base form. We do not use “finished” after did.
Question 27 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough after adjectives. “Big enough” means the bag has the necessary size for the books.
Question 28 Explanation
The correct answer is on. We use on with days of the week, including plural days for repeated habits. “On Saturdays” means every Saturday or regularly on Saturdays.
Question 29 Explanation
The correct answer is isn’t. The subject “he” needs is or isn’t with the adjective phrase “late for class.” The sentence means that he is not usually late.
Question 30 Explanation
The correct answer is will. The phrase “I think” often introduces a prediction about the future. “Tomorrow” also shows a future time, so will is the correct future auxiliary.
